We're worried about the energy this unit uses...how have electricity bills been since owning the AC? Thank you!

it raises my electric bill from $20 to $30 in the summer. it works so well that it is worth the expense.

It works quite well and we use it to cool a 2 room cabin. It raises our electric bill by about $20 per month when we run it a lot.

My electric bill was not increased by more than $20/month, but, I live in Colorado so I typically needed to use it only to cool the room off and then could turn it off at night. We were probably losing more energy from not having adequate insulation in our attic! We've moved since we last had to use the AC, but I was sure thankful to have it when needed. I think one thing I would change if I had to go back and buy it again would be to choose a unit with an auto on/off feature. The user must turn this one off or on.

The cost of the energy is worth the comfort level. I don't think it can compare the the cost of heating

Can't really answer the question because it replaced a broken ac unit so no noticeable change in the electric bill. Also we have 6 units so our electric bill is always high and depends how much we use our ac units

I have only had the unit for 2 weeks so I haven't been through a complete billing cycle for my electric bill.I used to have an ozone machine many years ago but lost it. I never noticed a significant change in my electric bill when I used it.I believe the draw on your electricity will be quite miniscule.Ed

Looks like you have gotten the answer from others. I really never worried about it. Fortunately out here in NM we don't have a lot of power failures. (knock on wood)

I have no clue. My electric bill from last summer was unchanged from the previous year, so I'm guessing not much (I live in a very small condo with pretty low electrical use, so I should notice any significant changes). I used the fan on it's lowest setting mostly all last summer, have not used it more than a day so far this year.

Not a problem. We have an older home that has had serveral wiring jobs done on it over the years and a mix of 15 and 20 amp outlets. Unit works fine. It has been fun actually seeing what it costs to operate the different appliances we have. I especially like the remote feature of the display. You can place it where it can be easily viewed. Right now it is measuring the big screen TV. It runs about 24/7 and costs about $0.50 per day to use. Nice little unit from Belkin.

I'm sorry, you probably did. An a/c sounds like overkill for such a small unit (I'm pretty sure such appliances need their own exclusive protected socketed, at least that's how we do it in Jamaica).

From a $$$ perspective, we run ours about 12 hours a day. Impact on electric bill is about $1 per day. Hope this helps.

All I can say is how I use it. I use it daily for 4 hrs constantly on a unit that demands 2500 watts. I don't have any issues to date. I hope this helps you.

My household electricity averages $350/mo. We have a large pool, lawn irrigation system, 2 freezers, and A/C for a two-story home in TX...have not noticed any impact to the bill. Ours in located in our formal dining where it is not in direct sunlight. It keeps the wine perfectly chilled. We keep the unit back 6" away from wall to provide best air flow. We are very very please with the unit! Enjoy!

I have had mine for over a year and never noticed a thing. Honestly no difference in my electric bill if it runs or not and I have it running a lot. I highly recommend it!

It is a very low cost. Electric bill barley moved up last winter. I can't give you an exact figure since that was the first winter here but my son keeps his heat at 65 and uses the duraflame day and night. His bills are about $100.00 per month. He is in a double wide trailer. Far cheaper than oil.

I wish I could help you with that but I'm not certain. I certainly haven't noticed a difference in my electric bill, and my son uses this fan every night. The one negative I have to say is that it was only used for a couple weeks before it started making a very annoying noise while oscillating. It has therefore only been used in a fixed position since. If you want a good oscillating fan, this may not be the one for you.

I have no idea. It hasn't affected our electric bill at all. It would be just like a fan at different speeds.

I haven't got the bill yet. I plan to install more solar colectors to offset the cost. I have a 20K system now and SCE will not let me install more until I use more electricity!!

It didn't go up much higher for me. The amount I saved on my gas bill pretty much transferred to electricity, but previously I was freezing in my second floor bedroom at night while my 1st floor living room was almost too warm. At least now the heat is where I need it to be. I was considering getting a thermostat controlled heater because sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and its in the upper 80's in my room.

I run mine on low speed most of the time and noticed a $20 savings on my first month. It wasn't a full month, so I'll know more this month. I'm sure there is an energy savings because PG&E; gave me a $100 rebate and it is an energy star.
